Refactor the EFI intent item recovery (and cancellation) functions into a general function that scans the AIL and an intent item type specific handler. Move the function that recovers a single EFI item into the extent free item code. We'll want the generalized function when we start wiring up more redo item types. Furthermore, ensure that log recovery only replays the redo items that were in the AIL prior to recovery by checking the item LSN against the largest LSN seen during log scanning. As written this should never happen, but we can be defensive anyway. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

All the code around struct xfs_bmap_free basically implements a deferred operation framework through which we can roll transactions (to unlock buffers and avoid violating lock order rules) while managing all the necessary log redo items. Previously we only used this code to free extents after some sort of mapping operation, but with the advent of rmap and reflink, we suddenly need to do more than that. With that in mind, xfs_bmap_free really becomes a deferred ops control structure. Rename the structure and move the deferred ops into their own file to avoid further bloating of the bmap code.

Create a function to enable querying of btree records mapping to a range of keys. This will be used in subsequent patches to allow querying the reverse mapping btree to find the extents mapped to a range of physical blocks, though the generic code can be used for any range query. The overlapped query range function needs to use the btree get_block helper because the root block could be an inode, in which case bc_bufs[nlevels-1] will be NULL. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

On a filesystem with both reflink and reverse mapping enabled, it's possible to have multiple rmap records referring to the same blocks on disk. When overlapping intervals are possible, querying a classic btree to find all records intersecting a given interval is inefficient because we cannot use the left side of the search interval to filter out non-matching records the same way that we can use the existing btree key to filter out records coming after the right side of the search interval. This will become important once we want to use the rmap btree to rebuild BMBTs, or implement the (future) fsmap ioctl. (For the non-overlapping case, we can perform such queries trivially by starting at the left side of the interval and walking the tree until we pass the right side.) Therefore, extend the btree code to come closer to supporting intervals as a first-class record attribute. This involves widening the btree node's key space to store both the lowest key reachable via the node pointer (as the btree does now) and the highest key reachable via the same pointer and teaching the btree modifying functions to keep the highest-key records up to date. This behavior can be turned on via a new btree ops flag so that btrees that cannot store overlapping intervals don't pay the overhead costs in terms of extra code and disk format changes. When we're deleting a record in a btree that supports overlapped interval records and the deletion results in two btree blocks being joined, we defer updating the high/low keys until after all possible joining (at higher levels in the tree) have finished. At this point, the btree pointers at all levels have been updated to remove the empty blocks and we can update the low and high keys. When we're doing this, we must be careful to update the keys of all node pointers up to the root instead of stopping at the first set of keys that don't need updating. This is because it's possible for a single deletion to cause joining of multiple levels of tree, and so we need to update everything going back to the root. The diff_two_keys functions return < 0, 0, or > 0 if key1 is less than, equal to, or greater than key2, respectively. This is consistent with the rest of the kernel and the C library. In btree_updkeys(), we need to evaluate the force_all parameter before running the key diff to avoid reading uninitialized memory when we're forcing a key update. This happens when we've allocated an empty slot at level N + 1 to point to a new block at level N and we're in the process of filling out the new keys. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

When a btree block has to be split, we pass the new block's ptr from xfs_btree_split() back to xfs_btree_insert() via a pointer parameter; however, we pass the block's key through the cursor's record. It is a little weird to "initialize" a record from a key since the non-key attributes will have garbage values. When we go to add support for interval queries, we have to be able to pass the lowest and highest keys accessible via a pointer. There's no clean way to pass this back through the cursor's record field. Therefore, pass the key directly back to xfs_btree_insert() the same way that we pass the btree_ptr. As a bonus, we no longer need init_rec_from_key and can drop it from the codebase. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

In xfs_finish_page_writeback(), we have a loop that looks like this: do { if (off < bvec->bv_offset) goto next_bh; if (off > end) break; bh->b_end_io(bh, !error); next_bh: off += bh->b_size; } while ((bh = bh->b_this_page) != head); The b_end_io function is end_buffer_async_write(), which will call end_page_writeback() once all the buffers have marked as no longer under IO. This issue here is that the only thing currently protecting both the bufferhead chain and the page from being reclaimed is the PageWriteback state held on the page. While we attempt to limit the loop to just the buffers covered by the IO, we still read from the buffer size and follow the next pointer in the bufferhead chain. There is no guarantee that either of these are valid after the PageWriteback flag has been cleared. Hence, loops like this are completely unsafe, and result in use-after-free issues. One such problem was caught by Calvin Owens with KASAN: .....

One of the problems we currently have with delayed logging is that under serious memory pressure we can deadlock memory reclaim. THis occurs when memory reclaim (such as run by kswapd) is reclaiming XFS inodes and issues a log force to unpin inodes that are dirty in the CIL. The CIL is pushed, but this will only occur once it gets the CIL context lock to ensure that all committing transactions are complete and no new transactions start being committed to the CIL while the push switches to a new context. The deadlock occurs when the CIL context lock is held by a committing process that is doing memory allocation for log vector buffers, and that allocation is then blocked on memory reclaim making progress. Memory reclaim, however, is blocked waiting for a log force to make progress, and so we effectively deadlock at this point. To solve this problem, we have to move the CIL log vector buffer allocation outside of the context lock so that memory reclaim can always make progress when it needs to force the log. The problem with doing this is that a CIL push can take place while we are determining if we need to allocate a new log vector buffer for an item and hence the current log vector may go away without warning. That means we canot rely on the existing log vector being present when we finally grab the context lock and so we must have a replacement buffer ready to go at all times. To ensure this, introduce a "shadow log vector" buffer that is always guaranteed to be present when we gain the CIL context lock and format the item. This shadow buffer may or may not be used during the formatting, but if the log item does not have an existing log vector buffer or that buffer is too small for the new modifications, we swap it for the new shadow buffer and format the modifications into that new log vector buffer. The result of this is that for any object we modify more than once in a given CIL checkpoint, we double the memory required to track dirty regions in the log. For single modifications then we consume the shadow log vectorwe allocate on commit, and that gets consumed by the checkpoint. However, if we make multiple modifications, then the second transaction commit will allocate a shadow log vector and hence we will end up with double the memory usage as only one of the log vectors is consumed by the CIL checkpoint. The remaining shadow vector will be freed when th elog item is freed. This can probably be optimised in future - access to the shadow log vector is serialised by the object lock (as opposited to the active log vector, which is controlled by the CIL context lock) and so we can probably free shadow log vector from some objects when the log item is marked clean on removal from the AIL.

xfsprogs source commit 4280e59dcbc4cd8e01585efe788a68eb378048e8 xfs_da3_split() has to handle all three versions of the directory/attribute btree structure. The attr tree is v1, the dir tre is v2 or v3. The main difference between the v1 and v2/3 trees is the way tree nodes are split - in the v1 tree we can require a double split to occur because the object to be inserted may be larger than the space made by splitting a leaf. In this case we need to do a double split - one to split the full leaf, then another to allocate an empty leaf block in the correct location for the new entry. This does not happen with dir (v2/v3) formats as the objects being inserted are always guaranteed to fit into the new space in the split blocks. Indeed, for directories they *may* be an extra block on this buffer pointer. However, it's guaranteed not to be a leaf block (i.e. a directory data block) - the directory code only ever places hash index or free space blocks in this pointer (as a cursor of sorts), and so to use it as a directory data block will immediately corrupt the directory. The problem is that the code assumes that there may be extra blocks that we need to link into the tree once we've split the root, but this is not true for either dir or attr trees, because the extra attr block is always consumed by the last node split before we split the root. Hence the linking in an extra block is always wrong at the root split level, and this manifests itself in repair as a directory corruption in a repaired directory, leaving the directory rebuild incomplete. This is a dir v2 zero-day bug - it was in the initial dir v2 commit that was made back in February 1998. Fix this by ensuring the linking of the blocks after the root split never tries to make use of the extra blocks that may be held in the cursor. They are held there for other purposes and should never be touched by the root splitting code.

However, the two functions are marked STATIC, so they become global symbols when CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is set, leaving us with two unused global functions that call into an undefined function and a broken "allmodconfig" build: fs/built-in.o: In function `xfs_file_dax_read': fs/xfs/xfs_file.c:348: undefined reference to `dax_do_io' fs/built-in.o: In function `xfs_file_dax_write': fs/xfs/xfs_file.c:758: undefined reference to `dax_do_io' Marking the two functions 'static noinline' instead of 'STATIC' will let the compiler drop the symbols when there are no callers but avoid the implicit inlining.

XFS currently handles the delalloc case properly, but this behavior makes the warning spurious. Update the XFS ->releasepage() handler to explicitly skip dirty pages. Retain the existing delalloc/unwritten checks so we continue to warn if such buffers exist on clean pages when they shouldn't.

Newly allocated XFS metadata buffers are added to the LRU once the hold count is released, which typically occurs after I/O completion. There is no other mechanism at current that tracks the existence or I/O state of a new buffer. Further, readahead I/O tends to be submitted asynchronously by nature, which means the I/O can remain in flight and actually complete long after the calling context is gone. This means that file descriptors or any other holds on the filesystem can be released, allowing the filesystem to be unmounted while I/O is still in flight. When I/O completion occurs, core data structures may have been freed, causing completion to run into invalid memory accesses and likely to panic. This problem is reproduced on XFS via directory readahead. A filesystem is mounted, a directory is opened/closed and the filesystem immediately unmounted. The open/close cycle triggers a directory readahead that if delayed long enough, runs buffer I/O completion after the unmount has completed. To address this problem, add a mechanism to track all in-flight, asynchronous buffers using per-cpu counters in the buftarg. The buffer is accounted on the first I/O submission after the current reference is acquired and unaccounted once the buffer is returned to the LRU or freed. Update xfs_wait_buftarg() to wait on all in-flight I/O before walking the LRU list. Once in-flight I/O has completed and the workqueue has drained, all new buffers should have been released onto the LRU.
